[PSP] PSX-P Beta 1 Released (homebrew)

http://www.psp-hacks.com/images/psx-p-screenshot.jpg

PSX-P is a PS1 emulator programmed (written) by Yoshiro. The games must be in ISO or BIN format. You can therefore make images of the
games you own without having to buy them again on the internet. For legal purposes, we are not supplying you with the SCPH1001.BIN file,
which is the PS1 bios.

What's new?

In the current version of this emulator, the overall speed is slow because of the absence of an optimized dynaric (dynamic recomplier).
Dark_Alex should be getting to that part of the emulator soon (after he finishes his HEN on 2.71).

So here we have a beta version in our hands, and we're ready to share it with you.

Installation:
The versions on PSP_GENERATION have been compressed in a way that lets you decompress it directly to your PSP memory stick. You will
need winrar installed (winrar is much better than winzip).

-Download the appropriate version for your firmware.
-Connect your PSP to your computer through USB.
-Right-click on the file you have just downloaded.
-Click on "extract".
-Choose your PSP's drive letter.
-Click on ok. That's it.

Where do you put the bios?
In the folder called BIOS inside the folder called PxsP (ms0:/PSP/GAME/__SCE__psxp/bios).

Where to put your roms?
In the folder called Rom inside the folder called PxsP (ms0:/PSP/GAME/__SCE__psxp/rom).

How to run the homebrew?

PSP1.0 and 1.5: Game>memory stick>Psx-P
PSP 2.00-2.60: install eLoader 0.9.8 and use the picture viewer to launch it.

Yeh, I'll think i will wait for when there are more games that work

Crash Bandicoot works... better look up my Crash Bandicoot CD. :D

Was gonna just post this, wayhey :) FF7 here i come, but i need the iso, sum1 hook me up.

FF7 crashes, just like most games.

When there is a version in which FF7 works then i'll send you the ISO's.

Dam, FF7 dont work :(

Id have bought a psp for that alone :p

Ok i just played Crash Bandicoot, it does work, but it's slow and no sound.

I'm definetly keeping a eye on that project, but right now it ain't interesting yet to seriously use it.

Did you see the thread in DCEmu about a major project/release? Probably it is going to be another psx emu(guessing from the clues) but with dynareq.

Last night i (AND ME ONLY) was handed a beta of a new project for the PSP, a project that in time will really rock the scene and when i say rock i BLOODY WELL MEAN IT.

We were informed of a Video of this project last week and those who follow PSP News will know what it is, this project is the most advanced yet for the PSP and being totally honest its awesome.

Im now playing one of my all time favourite games on it and even though its an early beta i am gobsmacked.

More details sometime later today.

Screens and News totally exclusive to DCEMU/PSP News will be coming soon

I cant wait to tell all of you more and after the events of the last few days this is just the tonic all PSP Owners need

Start Guessing

Just remember, be realistic

aint never gonna be a dreamcast or gamecube emu and who said it was an emu then again i didnt say anything, there are clues in the newspost

---

I'm not sure how compatible the PSP is with the PSX, but if they are similar then it indeed wouldn't be a emulator, instead it would be a loader.

that's the "surprise"

My favourite game btw is Command and Conquer Retaliation which played great on the emulator, the Video parts worked perfect, speed isnt full yet as this is only a beta and theres no dynarec yet but its impressive anyway.

Heres some screens:

Heres more info from the Anonymous Coder:

1) Ridge racer works perfectly.
2) Final Fantasy 7 works perfectly, there's only a bug that prevents the "Sony Computer Entertainment ..." logo from showing at the start, but the game continues to work. Just wait some time and the next screen("Squaresoft") will appear.
3) Final Fantasy 8 works. The same bug as FF7 prevents the opening screens (including squaresoft and credits) to show, but if you keep pressing X eventually it will reach the menu. There's another bug that prevents the game from rendering the screen in the world map, although it continues to run. However the screen shows when you pause the game. So keep pausing and un pausing and voila, you'll be able to run around :) However, in the part when you go drive a car it seems to freeze at a black screen.
4) Memory cards should work most of the time.
5) Save states work around 70% of the time. L+R+left to save, L+R+right to load.

Heres how it runs for now

1) Put the ps1p and ps1p% folders in /PSP/GAME
2) put scph1001.bin and psx.iso in the ps1p folder. psx.iso is any ps1 game image in IMG, ISO or BIN format. Currently there's no menu (sorry) so that's the way to select a game at the moment.
3) open the emulator and it will run psx.iso automatically.

About the beta i have the Anonymous Coder posted this to me:

This release does NOT have a dynarec, yet--this is being worked on currently.

Expect a 2x or more speed increase with the dynarec :)

This Playstation Emulator will not be released till its ready but by the looks of it its gonna be awesome and even in beta stage im very impressed. I can say its nothing to do with PCSX in any form and its not by Zodttd just to stop rumours, i actually dont know who its by but as soon as i know more info etc i will let you all know.

The emulator is running on both v1.0 and v1.5 Firmware, ill test on later versions when i get time :)

BTW the screens are crappy and i only have a limited number of PSX Games to choose from but as i scrounge pinch and borrow more ill have more info

Sounds good, still i'm going to wait for the release untill i say more.

I do hope it actually includes sound.
